I'm aware that the bacterial bloom "white slime" you can get on new driftwood is normal. I'm not too concerned about appearances at the moment and happy to let the slime run its course. I am interested to know members experiences on how long the bloom generally takes to clear up?

I posted on here about losing 30 or so fish in 3 days when we had the heat wave a couple of weeks back. When I cleaned out the internal ottto filter it was full of slime. Now the tank has noticeable algae build-up which it has never had. Could this be due to introducing a led light? I had always used the double fluro light before.

Hey there, I just noticed that some of the new rubber items in my tank have a white slime coating on them. Not a lot just on the air hose and the suction caps holding the filter. The older suction caps dont seem to have it. The tank is clean and all the fish are happy so I'm not worried. Has anyone else had this or know what the cause is? Mitch.
